Not my meme, but you're right!

Fuck me, he doesn't even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don't care if he's done a few good things in his time, Biden's literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.

I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers

Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep at the wheel.

It's two instances over a war that's already been in progress for 8 months.

That's a start then. I hope you're wrong.

I think we're still a long way from reasonably comparing Hamas's use of human shields and Martyrs among their own people, to this.

I do think there are likely a very significant number of IDF soldiers who are monsters who treat Palestinians as subhuman out of pure prejudice and maybe psychopathy. Because of course there are in any military, and very likely moreso in this one. But there is insufficient evidence this applies systemically more than to a very small minority, and more in the IDF than wider Israeli society of course. But they're still not motivated by anything specific in the culture except a long history of conflict. There is no intrinsic reason for even psychopathic Jews to be prejudiced toward Palestinians on the basis of Judaism. Not so the other way around, when there is well established hatred of Jews in Islam.

This matters, and I remain sure history will remember this following what's to come (especially if Trump wins the election).

More than one, for a start. The accusation is that there's a pattern. One does not a pattern make.

Maybe in terms of visuals, but they will publish the story itself if the evidence is strong. There was the story involving the hood of a car. That one I know is real.

My skepticism here should not be interpreted as some kind of stubbornness to acknowledge the IDF are committing war crimes. They absolutely are.

But I don't think this story is what it looks like, and I am sure Al Jazeera are embellishing a lot of content that is being published on social media.

The car hood event is a sample of one. You can't prove a pattern of behavior of a military using human shields with that. That's not how patterns work.

I often wish people in these situations tough it out, because of they don't, who will make the difference? Stepping down gets you one news article and then everyone forgets.

I respect his choice though, and it's another kind of heroic to put yourself and your family's safety first.

Why isn't it being reported on any other news service than Al Jazeera Arabic and Commom Dreams then? Am indictment against the IDF like this would absolutely be published in Reuters or the AP and many others.

And yet that's the narrative, not necessarily what is actually going on. There's a reason it's not a story published on Reuters, or AP, or even English Al Jazeera that I can find at least. There's plenty of criticism of Israel in all of these. No reason why they wouldn't run a story with evidence of the IDF using human shields. They ran this story after all.

Really? I don't see anyone else treading new ground like this. They have me gripped.
